This is the world’s most expensive Suzuki RGV250 – built over the past four months for owner Mark Lister at a cost of more than £12,000.
Lister, 32, from Elephant and Castle in London spent 11 years working as a bike courier in London. He now runs his own courier company and decided the RGV was going to be a present to himself.
Lister sent his 1994 RGV250P to Dave Cooper Racing (DCR) in Kettering, Northants for what was initially meant just to be an engine rebuild.
It turned into a complete reworking of the two-stroke race replica with virtually no part remaining untouched.
Lister paid for the lot up front as each idea was hatched over what to do to the bike next.
He said: “I know people will think I am crazy for doing this but I absolutely love this bike the way it is and I don’t care what people think of it.
“It’s the bike I dreamt of owning when I was 17 and had no money – now I am a happy man.
